There are seven starting Races to choose from in Starbound. Each race is unique in appearance and offers their own lore and armor etc. (the names of the quests and armor sets will be slightly different). The tooltips for each item is different based on your race as well.
Each race now has a different kind of Pet on their ship and a different image for their AI S.A.I.L. As of now there are seven playable classes, each begins with a Broken Broadsword and the contents of their ship's Ship Locker.
- Apex
- Avian
- Floran
- Glitch
- Human
- Hylotl
- Novakid
- each race has their own little boons and buffs that you wouldn't really notice plus racial armors that will grant special abilities to each race at some point. What race you are does not determine what kinds of structures will spawn near you; it is completely random.

Notes[]
- The descripion of various food items implies that it can only be eaten by a certain race, however, no such thing is noticed with most of these items. You might want to avoid eating too much of another race's food types (just in case).
